The number after the orginator's name is the classification number. 
Abnaki (funk (421) (Early) Deep vivid 
——————_ orange that stands the hottest 
sun without fading. Opens 5-6 well placed 
blooms on a medium tall plant. Fine early 
orange and just as good when planted late 
for fall bloom. 
Abu Hassan  (rfitzer) (378) (Carly) 
Clear dark blue. Opens 
several medium size blooms on a tall straight 
plant. This is the most popular dark blue on the 
market now. 
Adonis (Woods) (500) (Midseason) Big 
———— tall strong growing pure white 
glad of large size. Has good texture and 
slightly ruffled blooms. Opens 8 with 8 more 
showing color on a 24 bud spike and a 30” 
head. This was very fine in my trials this past 
season. 
Adorable (Woods) (541) (Early) Light 
| an Dink with lavender cast and 
with a small darker feather. Nearly a self 
color. 5-5% florets. 6-8 open and 6 more 
showing color. A very beautiful variety. Strong 
grower with a nice willowy stem. 
Adoration (Klein) (442) (arly) New 
shade of rose with a creamy 
throat. Sort of an orchid pink. Very beautiful 
and good for first early cut flowers. Not so good 
in hot weather. Needs good culture. Opens 
7-5" blooms. 
Algonquin (Palmer) (536) (Early) Bril- 
inane lian clowing scarlet.c or 
more wide open ruffled and needlepoint 
blooms open on a tall spike. An old standard 
variety that many growers still consider the 
best scarlet. 
Alpine (Palmer) (400) (Early midseason) 
———— Pure white with light cream 
throat. Opens 8 beautifully ruffled blooms. | 
don’t know a more beautiful white. Has not 
propagated too fast so has not become so 
popular as it deserves. Have better stock this 
year. 
Amberlite (Palmer) (422) (Late mid- 
season) Light salmon orange 
with yellow throat giving the general color 
effect of orange apricot. 18-20 buds all open 
and showing. Sometimes placement is a little 
irregular but it is a very attractive variety just 
the same. Not too fast a propagator. 
American Beauty (Barrett) (562) 
—_ > a a CCU VmenOlded 
deep rose with darker throat. Best in this par- 
ticular shade. Medium height. 
Antietam (Snyder) (454) (Late mid- 
season) Beautiful deep glis- 
tening red with a velvety texture. Opens 8 
well placed 414”” blooms on a 20 bud spike. 
Tall stiff tho willowy stem. Good propagator. 
One of the best in this color. 
Arita (Kuhn) (242) (Early) Deep rose with 
a light cream throat. One of the best 
in this color and size. One of the best show 
flowers in its class and should be very popular 
for florist’s work where small size is wanted. 
Astrid (Jack) (562) (Early) Distinctive 
clear medium rose with a narrow 
throat line and slight feather. One of the best 
varieties in its color. The cut flower growers 
are just waiting to get this. But stock heretofore 
has not been very plentiful tho it produces a 
fair amount of bulblets that germinate well. 
Have much better stock this year than previ- 
ously. Am sure you will like it. 
Attala (Chase) (462) (Midseason) Deep 
“~~ red self color. Tall strong grower 
with head up to 28” with 7 or 8 5” florets
